“We think tablet technology will create a new group of tablet-only publishers. It will include those who haven’t had the capital to launch previously and also small to medium print publishers who will convert to tablet only. Many times these kinds of publications don’t have the funding for a full-time sales force.”

This article by BERG presented a few ideas in ICON MAGAZINE about publishing on the iPad and the challenges publishers are having on it, from cover design to promotion strategies…
We are in a world of search rather than browse – which perhaps in turn leads to a change in the role of cover design, from “buy me, look what’s inside” to “you know what’s inside, but here is an incredible, evocative image”. In many ways it’s a return to the “classic” magazine covers of the 1950s and 60s, privileging the desirability of the object itself rather than shouting about every feature.

“For as long as I’m been alive, publication formats have been getting smaller. First, oversized magazines like Life and Esquire either disappeared or switched to conventional formats to save money on paper and mailing. Then editorial content started moving online, shrinking to fit computer screens and then even smaller for PDAs and 140-character tweets. The iPad represents the first time this trend has been reversed. Instead of smaller, more low-res content, we have the chance to get bigger, brighter, sharper content. Designers used to making it smaller may have trouble learning to go the other way.”
